Identify the FALSE statement associated with the significance of stationary armature in synchronous machine.

  1. ((a))

    The stationary armature is responsible for producing the stator magnetic field in a synchronous machine. The magnetic field produced by the armature interacts with the magnetic field produced by the rotor to generate the torque necessary to turn the machine.

  2. ((b))

    The stationary armature is a stationary component that does not rotate, making it less prone to wear and tear. This results in a machine that is highly reliable and requires minimal maintenance.

  3. ((c))

    The stationary armature is typically housed in a stationary frame, which provides a large surface area for efficient cooling. This allows the armature to operate at high temperatures without overheating, resulting in higher efficiency and longer lifespan.

  4. ((d))

    In stationary armature configuration, the exciting current is relatively high; therefore, the slip rings and brush gear need to be heavy construction.

Show Answer
Answer: ((a))

The stationary armature is responsible for producing the stator magnetic field in a synchronous machine. The magnetic field produced by the armature interacts with the magnetic field produced by the rotor to generate the torque necessary to turn the machine.
